Michael and all, Yes, because the K2 has independent BFO adjustments for USB and LSB you must know that both BFOs have been properly set before you can do 'tone matching' to determine the correct dial setting. It IS a good method to verify that one has achieved correct calibration, but if the dial calibration is suspect, attempting to get it correct by matching the LSB/USB tones may prove to be an exercise in frustration.
If you need to set WWV right on (as when using it to set the reference oscillator with the N6KR method), I recommend using Spectrogram to view the frequency of the transmitted tones - they will alternate between 500 and 600 Hz in alternate minutes. See the dial calibration article on my webpage www.qsl.net/w3fpr for more detailed information. 73, Don W3FPR ----- Original Message ----- > I've found that using the frequency calibration method in which you switch > between LSB/USB when monitoring the tone (tuning for the point at which > there is the least difference in the WWV tone between LSB and USB) on WWV at > 15 or 20 MHz works very well on my Kenwood TS-930S.
